"AMPLI-Calf® Grower continues to be an exciting new feed category for dairy producers," says Dr. Dari Brown, director livestock young animal marketing with Purina Animal Nutrition. "AMPLI-Calf® Grower provides dairy producers with a feeding solution that focuses on diet transition and supporting immunity, a key in the battle to fight post-weaning slump."

Research from the Ohio State University and the Purina Animal Nutrition Center continue to show that it may be possible to skip the growth slump, typically seen post-weaning with a feeding program that focuses on diet transition, supporting immunity and rumen development.

"Anecdotally from the field, farms that have implemented AMPLI-Calf® Grower feed into their feeding program confirm they are able to minimize the growth slump," says Brown.

When combined with the proven success of the original AMPLI-Calf® Grower feed formula, this new research shows AMPLI-Calf® Grower feed takes post-weaning calf growth, efficiency and rumen development to a new level of performance.

Use AMPLI-Calf® Grower feed in tandem with industry leading AMPLI-Calf® Starter feeds available through Purina Animal Nutrition. AMPLI-Calf® Grower feed will be available starting October 28, 2013.
